Struggling to Afford Rent Deposit in Toronto – Need Help!

Posted by Casey2088 • February 24, 2026 • 6 comments

I'm a recent grad starting my first job, but the $4000-$5000 upfront deposit for an apartment is impossible for me right now. It feels overwhelming to manage first and last month’s rent on an entry-level salary. Are there any programs to help with deposits, or payment plans I could explore?
